All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.

Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.

GARNIER'S new BB Cream,  combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin. 

The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.

GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.

It has a  new active ingredient,  Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.

Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish

GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

BB creams seem to promise a lot ………

Straight off I could see my skin was more even and natural, the redness of my skin was hidden and my blemishes were less visible. The product is very liquidity so it goes on my skin smoothly and I love the fact that it feels light weight, my skin can actually breathe. It’s also SPF15 - a definite must these days.

My Tzone gets super oily (eeeewww) so I still used a powder to finish and still had to apply powder during the day to keep the shine at bay.

I recommend the Garnier BB cream for a natural look during the day. It won’t be replacing my normal beauty routine but I’ll defiantly be keeping in my cabinet for times when I'm in a rush and popping out to the supermarket or something.

Messy product, good coverage

Started by opening the tube and getting the product absolutely everywhere - turns out it is a lot thinner than the other Garnier BB Creams, more of the consistency of nail polish or thin foundation than moisturiser or concealer. Once on, however, the product spread well and gave great coverage, leaving my skin feeling smooth. It also didn't irritate my angular chellitis, which is a bonus as often new products do!

The product lasted quite well, too, only needing to touch up once or twice through the day.

Tips: Don't squeeze the tube too hard and do -not- leave in your hand bag/make up bag unless you're sure the lid is on WELL - unless you want BB cream all over everything, like I've ended up with....

Garnier BB cream

I really enjoyed testing this product out. I'm still new to most things makeup and only tend to use BB cream on its own rather than with foundation.

The cream was thicker than I first expected, and I wasn't sure that it would match my skin tone at first but it blended out quite well and looked very natural. I used my fingers to apply it, and after a few days and a bit of practice I didn't seem to be using so much of the product each time.

The coverage of the BB cream was great, with all the redness and blemishes covered very well. I didn't even need to use concealer which was quite nice.

One issue I did have was that the BB cream wouldn't go matte on application. I ended up having a shiny face after applying it which wasn't what I wanted. However, it did do a really good job other than this.

Tips: Apply powder after application to get rid of any shininess.

Finally a BB cream that works!

Finally i have found a BB Cream that does what it says it will do.. On the first day i applied it alone with no primer (which i always have to do) and it was great, I applied it with my Real techniques expert sponge, it applied so smooth and flawless and had great coverage. Now for the oil factor, I have such oily skin it is ridiculous. This is great as i always have to go really matte to cover the oil but i didn't have to while trialing this, for the first time I could have a dewy look without it looking like an oil slick. I am so so happy and think this may be my new "foundation"

Tips: If you like a matte look instead of dewy then a powder over the top and will work great.

Pleasantly BB Surprised!

I must admit, I went into this trial not having too high of hopes!! I have tried BB Creams in the past and have not really been too fussed with them. I always just thought they were a remarketed Tinted Moisturizer, and if I was going to wear colour on my skin I wanted coverage that didn't make me look like a dirty, shiny mess (which I have found with tinted moisturiser).

Despite my hesitations I am always keen to try new products and when I heard there was an Oil Free option I jumped at the opportunity to give this product a go.

BB Cream – Oil Free in Light The BB Cream came in a nice black box with a picture and details of the product on the front/back, which gave it an upmarket feel (rather than in a clear fronted package or singularly). The bottle itself was long and slender with a cream colour, silver touches and a screw cap.

The formula is extremely runny which you must be careful of when opening up the cap otherwise it will drip everywhere. I first applied this using my fingers which was a little messy and uneven, however I applied this under my foundation so was not too worried as I would even it up upon foundation application. I was amazed at the results I got under my foundation. My skin looked smooth, healthy and Oil Free… I couldn’t quite believe it!! Another bonus, I did not need to apply as much foundation and did not need to set with powder as it left me with quite a matte finish. Most of the time I wore this under foundation using different tools for application: Fingers, Sigma F80 & RT Blender. I found the product was best to apply with either a brush or blender. The F80 gave a more sheer finish while the Blender heavier, I would recommend using brush or Blender not fingers. The last couple of days I have worn the BB Cream on its own with concealer and a little powder. I find the BB is great when building up and actually thought I would not need a foundation when applying two coats! I remained Oil Free all day and even received compliments on how flawless my skin looked! I initially thought the “Light” may have been too light but was really happy with the colour but I think I would use the Medium in the summer months. I always applied over moisturiser as I moisturise as soon as I have got out the shower. I have marked lower for results as I have not used for 4 weeks so unable to vouch with their 4 week use claims.

Overall I LOVE this Oil Free Garnier BB Cream and will make it a staple in my beauty routine. It really did make a difference in the appearance of my skin.

Tips: For anyone really Oily or wanting a Matte finish. Do not use on dry skin.

Update: Please note if you build this it has a slight Pink undertone. This may not be suitable for someone with very Yellow undertones.

Miracle Skin Perfector

This BB feels so smooth and light when you put in on, and it blends super easy. The coverage is awesome, it easily evened my skin tone out. My skin is feeling super soft at the moment and I have been thinking to myself that my pores look less visable lately and then I realised that was one of the claims made about this BB so I would say it's been doing its job! I have worn the BB serveral days and have had a mixed bunch some days my skin stayed matte and others was very oily but both days I did think by the afternoon the coverage had gone and I needed to reapply, using a finishing powder helped a little with this. I will definitely be buying more of this when I run out well worth it!

Does what it says

Great product I have worn it for 5 days now, nice even coverage stays on all day and non greasy, even works well on the dry patches! Of anything I would say a little to orange for me I did mix it with moisturiser to get the right colour for my skin. Overall I would buy this product

Tips: Mix with moisturiser to get colour u need

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

This was my first time using this and i have to say I loved it. I don't use anything like this on a daily basis anymore so was a bit out of practice but i found it easy to apply, it felt nice on my skin, and i noticed my skin looked even and not patchy. My skin also feels softer and smoother after I've taken it off. Overall I'd have to say i do like it and so far it seems to be doing what it's meant to.

Tips: I found it went on better if I applied it immediately after I cleansed my skin

I loved it!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I have very big pores and as a result I only use powder on my face as a base otherwise my skin feels "trapped" and it feels it cannot breathe under the make up if that makes sense? I was very excited to try the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I have used it everyday and not once have I experienced any sweat or "trapped" feelings on my skin. To me that was the big test as many other products out there will give a smooth round off look. I am so hooked on this. My skin stayed oil free for the full day which was amazing for me!!!! It hides all the pores and gave me a smooth finished look. Thank you for sending me the trial. I am hooked for life.

Tips: It was perfect as it for me so No tips needed this time round.

bb cream oily and combination

Absolutely love it.as I have oily skin the bb cream hid that , as it works with my skin.didnt have to use much at all ,it spreads across my face smoothly. It doesn't make you look like you put heaps on .yet you knw you have covered any plimishes \pimples. It says to can apply one coat then another over top again ,perfect for a night out which I did.it just gives a little bit more to the night look.i used just one layer for day time.so its not over the top .it feels to me after you apply like its turned in to powder to set it which is awesome .medium was the colour I choose I wouldn't go any lighter.but for summer would need slightly darker one if any.bonus is that it has spf 15 if you forget sunscreen. At least your slightly covered. Im not sure if my pores are less visable tho as it states. Only need to squeeze the tube a little bit otherwise you will get to much.good size tube ! Face does feel soft as well. Id keep using this bb cream for sure.

Tips: Can use it under make up if need be.
